System Settings is firing-and-forgetting any network created from the
“Other network…” dialog. Not sure there's anything network-manager can
do here. System Settings should, upon error, allow the user to change
the failed network connection, not create a brand new one.
Thanks for reporting this.

Title:
Failed 'add new connection' records a new connection anyway
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When adding a new wireless connection, if an incorrect setting
selection is made the connection fails to add, as expected, with a
warning (e.g. incorrect authentication) - this is the expected
behaviour. However, the connection name gets saved under Settings >
WiFi > Previous networks. This means if you, say, enter an incorrect
password three times when trying to add a connection but get it right
the fourth time, there will be four entries of the network you were
trying to add, each suffixed by a number. The consequence is that in
future the device fails to connect to that network when it is in
range. Current solution is to forget all entries of the network and
add it again (and get all settings right on the first try).
